You can also define and download an international language to allow any character within the character library to be substituted for any code. Similarly, an individual character in a font, or an entire set of characters, can be created and placed in a font. These downloading features are discussed in more detail in the Programming chapter and the Appendix.

Power Switch

The AC power switch is located at the lower left corner of the rear panel of the printer. To turn the printer power on, set the power switch to the ON () position.

- WARNING -

The power cord requires an IEC (hot) connector to mate to the receptacle on the rear panel of the printer. The hot connector includes a polarizing key which prevents the use of cordsets that are not of the correct rating for the printer.

- WARNUNG -

Das Stromkabel benötigt einen IEC (spannungsführenden) Stecker, der in die Steckdose an der hinteren Wand des Druckers passt. Der spannungsführende Stecker kommt mit einem Nulleiter, der die Benutzung von Stromkabeln ohne die korrekte Nennleistung für den Drucker verhindert.
